What is Holiday Accident Compensation?

If you have had an accident on holiday your insurer may only agree to pay for your medical expenses and, if you are lucky, any loss of earnings that you suffer.

Should the operators of the hotel, campsite, aircraft, vehicle or cruise liner be to blame for your accident then you are entitled to claim compensation for any losses that your holiday insurance will not cover.

Compensation for accidents that occur abroad differs from accidents that happen in the UK because you could potentially claim for further compensation for the fact that you weren’t able to enjoy your holiday.

I’ve had an accident. What can I claim for?

The proportion of the holiday that was ruined by your accident

The loss of enjoyment from your holiday

The pain and suffering caused by the injury

Compensation for other members of the holiday party because your accident ruined their holiday

Any foreign medical expenses (not covered by your insurance)

Out of pocket expenses including car hire, child care, and additional accommodation costs

Out of pocket expenses once you have returned home to the UK

Compensation for loss of earnings whilst you are unable to work

Compensation for any professional care received or care offered to you by your family
